Boys’ hockey lead to Ashburton
A successful appeal against a goal scored by Canterbury on full time gave Ashburton it 5-4 win and the lead in the South Island under-17 boys' hockev tournament being played at Pofritt Park. The unusual situation arose when one umpire blew for fulltime and simultaneously the other blew for a penalty-stroke. The umpires agreed the stroke would be taken and Canterbury scored from it. However Ashburton appealed after the game find an appeal committee agreed that the goal would be disallowed. Ashburton's win was an upset. Canterbury had won its other games handsomely but found
itself down 0-4 in the first-half against Ashburton, although it fought back gamely to almost draw. Results wore;— Canterbury 8.
